PANAMA , Colombia , ( via Galvcston. Tex. ) ,
May 0. [ By Mexican Cable to the New
York Herald Special to Tin : HKI : . ] Onlccrs
of the steamer City of New York , which
arrived last nit'ht. brought the news that
the expected revolution in Nicaragua had
begun. The steamer left Corlnto , Nlca-
rngua , on May I. Hcrofllcers report that
when she arrived nt Corinto , which Is the
chief port of Nicaragua on the western
coast , the. revolution had already been In
progress for three days , and was under ttio
leadership of General Sara varte. The result
of the lighting was not Known when the New
York sailed from Corlnto.
United States Minister Shannon arrived
hero on the New YorkA having hoarded her
at Corinto. He says t that when ho left the
copitol of Nicaragua it wnssoiiulrt that no
outbreak was expected , but while at Cori
cnto ho received a telegram from President
Socosa announcing that a revolution had
been started.
President Socosa Informed Minister Shannon -
non that ho had 10,000 troops ready to move
against Masaya , which had been captured
by the insurgents. The revolutionists ap-
pcared to have a formidable army. Their
jtlan was a well defined one. They struck
simultaneously at Leon , Gr.umdu und Ma-
fiayn. Communication oetwcen Corinto
and the Interior had been Interrupted when
the steamer Now York sailed , and oven that
port was undergoing a slcgo.
Twt'lvo Hundred Men Captured.
I have Just received news which confirms
the report cabled the Herald yesterday that
the revolutionists of Nicaragua had cap
tured the city of Masaya and its garrison of
J00 men. The assault upon the city was
led by General Juaquln Su villa , ex-president
of the republic , who is ono of the
leaders of the revolt against President
Socosa. Granada has fallen Into thn
hands of the insurgcntn. The western
provinces , however , are loyal lo Socosa. According -
cording to the latest advices thu revolutionIsts -
Ists were marching upon San Juan and were
. oxncctcd to attack Corlnto.
' President Socosa Is strongly entrenched in
< Leon , where the government forces are cen-
tercd.JA foreign born conductor on thoNlcar-
aguan railway , who made insulting remarks
about the revolutionary party was shot by
ono of the sympathizers of the revolution.
Situation In Honduras.
News of thoovcrthrowof | PollcarooBonllla ,
leader of the revolution In Honduras , has
been received In this city by mail. Bonllla
ruptured Tegucigalpa , as I cabled the Hor-
uld , but his occupation of the capital city
was not prolonged. When General Vasquoz ,
nt the head of the government forces , ad-
vnm'cd toward Tegucigalpa Bonilla abandoned -
donod his position and retired to a point1 a
few miles back of the city. This movement
nroused the oposltlon of General Terrcucla
Sierra , Bonllla's chief of staff. Gcnciul
Blcrra denounced Bonilla as a coward.
This split in the revolutionary camp enabled -
bled General Vasquc/ operate ugalnst the
insurgents most advantageously. Ho do-
fcatcd them in four battles. Those engago-
nients took place at 101 Caliche , fxs Ccrdos ,
Uulcama and Yorlbo. The lighting was
st at I/os Centos , where many rebels
wcro killed and 100 wounded. Bonllla's
retreated so hastily that they loft
thcir dead on the Held to be buried by the
fcovornmcnt troops , Bonilla's forces Hod to
the frontier of Nicaragua. Ninety robcls
were captured during the retreat. It was
reported that all of them were shot by order
of General Vasquc/ .
' Truxlllo was recaptured on April 10 after
a battle which lasted six hours. Tlioro was
it small loss of lifo on each side and forty-
live of the rebel soldiers were captured. It
is behoved they will bo ordered shot us
traitors.
n Iiirnilon Certain.
General Pablo Nullla , with a command of
200 men ventured over Into Guatemalan tor-
rltory. They were captured and disarmed
and are now being held while the Guato-
inalan authorities are deciding1 what to do
with them.
General Agucro who lias been acting as
president of Honduras slnco President Leiva
resigned , turned the government over to
General Yusquez on April S.
It is reported that before his victory Vns-
quez sent the following dispatch to Prcsl-
dent Socosa of Nicaragua : "I shall triumph
over Bonllla and then over you. "
It is believed that Ytisiiucz , who is thirsting -
ing for revenge against Socosa on account of
the aid ho gave to Bonilla , will soon invndo
Nicaragua. If lie should do so ho would no
doubt uld the Nicaragua revolutionists In
their fight against Socosa.

York Herald -Sueclul to TUB BEE.I The
Herald's correspondent In Kio do Janeiro
telegraphs that in his message to the Bra-
ttllan congress President Picxotto refers to
the troubles in Ulo Gramto do Sul. Prrsl-
( lent Picxotto says he has found it dilliuult
to consolidate thb states of the republic on
account of the many obstacles which have
been tin own In the way. The outlook -
look , however , Is promising. It is the
C slro of the government , the president says ,
to suppress the revolution In Ulo Grundo'dc
las \ soon as possible. The condition ol

President Pioxotto , In oilier portions of
his message , proposes reforms In the election
laws and In the measures providing proper
sanitary regulations for the city of Ulo do
Janeiro. Ho promises to preserve peaceful
relations with ot'her nations and to maintain
Bra/il's rights In the mlssloncs disputes.
The president asks for authority to increase
the cfllulcncy and for the construction of
now war ships. Ho recommends the rc.
moval of the capital to the interior.
Five hundred thousand immigrants arc
expected to arrive in Brazil during the pres
ent year. In regard to the financial tondi-
tlon of the country , President Pioxotto says
the receipts for the present year will be 825 , .
000,000 contos and expenditures 200,000,000
contoi. Ho asks the members of all parties
to sink political differences and work in har
mony for the advancement and glory of
Brazil.
rolltlenl Complication ! .
A lame quantity of arms has been seized
at Bahla. They have been shipped to the
revolutionists of San Paulo. Quo thousand
rifles have been sent to the governor of Pcr-
nambuco to bo used in the suppression of
the proposed revolution against President
Plexotto.
Curious stories have reached mo In regard
to the action of Admiral Waldcnkor. It Is
reKirtcd | from Hlo de Janeiro that the admi
ral has gone to Salt river on a mission for
the government , but from Montevideo comes
the story that he has gone to Salt river to
Join the revolutionists. La Prenza , published
in Buenos Ayres , says the admiral will soon
return to Hlo dc Janeiro and oppose Piexotto
in the national senate.
The Herald's correspondent In Montcdcs
telegraphs that Sllvelr.i , Martins and other
revolutionists have received news from Kio
that a demand has been made upon Uruguay
for their surrender to Brazil.
A dispatch from the Herald's correspond
ent in Buenos Ayres says that President
Saenz Pena has held a long conference with
Pellegrini in relation to the political situa
tion. Pellegrini has been invited to accept
the portfolio of the Interior in the cabinet.
Should he accept , Romero and Victorlo will
resign nml Kscalunto and Campos will take
their places.
I'lexotto Criticized ,
A dispatch from the Heralu's correspond

feating the revolutionists to aid in the In
stullmcnt of General Latorrc as dictator of
the state.
Serious trouble Is expected to follow the
reading of the message of President Pcna to
the congress of Argentine.
The Herald's correspondent In Buenos
Ayres telegraphs that President Pcna's
enemies will vigorously attack the views
expressed by him in thrf message. It is
probable that Chill will send two war ships

INDIGNATION OF THE CHANCELLOR
Ho Accuses the CcntrUtn of ItecclvliiK Their
Inspiration tu Oppose the Measure
from the Vatican All Attempt !
to Cninpromlsu Full.
BKKUN , May C.-Tne army bill was re
jected today In the Reichstag by n vote of
210 to 102 , A rescript signed by the kniscr
dissolving the Reichstag was immediately
promulgated and the body was dissolved ,
[ 'ho social democratic members displayed
ho wildest enthusiasm over the result , giv-
ig cheer after cheer. Greiit confusion and
proar prevailed. Public excitement is at
lie highest pitch In Berlin. The new clcc-
ions arc set for Juno 15. The now session
vill open within ninety days.
The result of the vote on the nrmy bill
laused no surprise to the government.
2hunccllor von Caprivl hoped yesterday
veiling to rally the wavering members to
ho support of the measure by offering to re-
ucc the peace effective oven below the num-
icr proposed in the amendment offered by
"relhcrer von Iluenc. The offer , however , did
ot gain a single voto. The house had made
p its mind to reject the bill and the
pccehes made on the subject wore addressed
'athcr ' to the electors than to the Reichstag.
The most trying feature of the closing
debate was the resurgence of anti-Prussian
cntlmcnt , especially from the speakers of
he center party. Dr. Licber , who is a
leader in the councils of his party , after at-
utklng Chancellor von Caprivi for having ,
s he puts it , resorted to the worst form of
Bismarckian methods to secure the passage
f the hill , suid : "Tho center party fights
.oday against the ambitions of u centraliz-
ng Ca'sarism. Wo protest against the mill-
arisin which translates itself In persistent
endeavors to extend the principles of the
'russiun ' state into the domain of imperial
egisluturc. In the Interests of the emplro
ivo demand that the Prussian policy bo confined -
fined to the Prussian Diet , while Germany
[ irevalls in the Reichstag. "
Cnprlvl' * IiidlKimtlon.
Neither Chancellor vou Caprivl nor Baron
von Manteuffcl , the Prussian conservative
.eader , attempted to respond to Dr. Lleber's
attack. All the speakers on the government
side simply ignored the expressions of anti-
Prussian sentiment. The chancellor com
mented vaguely upon the democratic
tendency that has recently been de
veloptng among the centrists and sug
gested that the policy now pursued by that
party had its inspiration in the Vatican ,
which he said was now the friend of rcpub-
ican Franco and was trying to draw the
ivholo Catholic world in the same direction.
The German government , the chancellor
added , had hitherto based the support of the
center party on social questions , but It had
now learned a lesson. The center party was
Catholic first and German afterward. The
party stood ready to commit Itself to what
ever democratic evolution foreign influences
might cheese to dictate.
Vnln Appeal to I'lttrlotinm.
Mr. von Bonnlgsen , the leader of the na
tional liberals , gave a moderate tone to the
debate in a long speech , urging the house to
accept the concessions offered by the gov
crnment. Ho deplored the inability of the
Keichstag to slnu party differences in the
way of questions involving the external
safety of the empire and its prestige
tigo abroad. The difticulty of success
fully conducting the affairs of the
country had always been enhanced by
the absence of a stable parliamentary ma <
jority. A government driven to rely upon a
fortuitous majority could never present to
the country a really consistent national pol
icy. What the Reichstag ought to trj to
obtain was a strong moderate party , estab
lished on a broad national basis. It sccmei
to him pitiful that no majority should bi
forthcoming In response to the covernment'f
appeal in behalf of the national honor anil
the existence of Germany. It was painful
to contrast the parliamentary lifo of other
countries , notably England , where the most
violent party antagonism never militated
against the continuity of the imperial policy.
Attempts Ht a C.iiuproiiiiio Futile.
The last attempts at a compromise , however -
over , failed , Chancellor Caprivi refusing to
sanction a proposition to make the two
years active service permanent , the kaiser
became impatient of further delay and
pressed for a decision by the Keichstag
today , hcnco the vote was taken at once , in
stead of being postponed until Monday. The
failure of the bill makes it necessary for the
kaiser to defer for the present his projected
reform of higher military commands and
posts In the war oftice a project which
Chancellor Caprivi is said to dread , oven
moro than ho dreaded the struggle over the
army bill , knowing that it is very likely that
there will be a conflict over the changes
which will involve the kuUer , Caprivi him
self , and others whom the chancellor has no
deslro to antagonize- .
Caprivi Will Ko.ltfii.
Chancellor Caprivi has gone to rotrdnm
to offer his resignation to tho. kaiser. The
kaiser has summoned Count Botho von
Eulcnbero , the Prussian premier , to Pots-
dam. Count Botho von Eulcnbcrg took the
place of Chancellor von Caprivi , as Prussian
premier about a year ago , when Caprivi re
signed that ofllce , owing to the decision of
the Kaiser to withdraw the educational bill
from the Prussian Landtag ,

PAIIIS , May 0. [ Now York Herald Cubic
Special to TUB BKB. ] The entire atten
tion of the European iralltical world is
turned toward Berlin , vflfero the Reichstag
today voted on the army bill. The interest
is much moro considerable than ono would
have believed. If the Reichstag had voted
today for an Increase ofj the effective mili
tary force , all the great states of Europe
would havo- been obliged to follow Ger
many's example , because the whole of
Europe Is now managed from a military
point of view. The prompt dissolution of
the Reichstag , therefore , produced In Paris
a profound political impression ,
According to early reports , It was thought
that the army bill would bo rejected , and
the dissolution of the Reichstag was pre
dicted. Ono must now expect u very belli
cose campaign , and the use of alarmist
threats on tlm part of Germany , as at every
dissolution of the Reichstag. It will be nec
essary to verify every t > lece of news before
you believe It , and In Franco we can expect
Incidents on the frontier' llko the Schabelo
affair.
In Trouble with KiiRlnnd.
For the rest It Is not their relations with
Germany which now causes uneasiness to
the French government , but the relations of
Franco with England , which are very bad.
Throughout Asia , Africa and Europe
English policies are thwarting French
policies. In the difficulties with Slam it is
again England exciting the Siamese against
France. In Africa thcro are the
serious troubles in the * region of Lake
Tchad , and the irritating of the
sultan of Morocco. In" Europe the
interminable dlscus'sion about Egypt
proves that England , . .inspite , will not
evacuate the country. Tho" speech of Mr.
Gladstone produced a wry bai } effect on the
French government. It is .certain that the
entire politics of Europe 'will bo Influenced
sooner or later by this French and English
antipathy.
Bits of court news soirjetimes help one to
understand politics on a.large scale. Hero

William to Rome : j

The relations of thi twti'monarchs , which
were very good during th&flrst days of the
"

On account of the charjcter ' of Emperor
William's commamlnntv'Q Ren Margborlta
made n complaint to king Humbart , and the
mpcrial train was stopped In the open coun
try during the trip from -Naples to Genoa in
order to permit the royal train to pass
ihead. At the placo-wljero the trains over-
, ook each other the two sovereigns hud a
secret Interview , and the consequence
was that the royal train arrived at Genoa
jefore the Imperial train , and the two par-
tics entered the city separately. It is also
said that during his stay Emperor William
wished to call out the garrison on an alarm
, n the middle of the night , und it was only
on the protest of Queen Marghcrita that the
ilarm was not given under pretext of not
uvakcnlng the pope. These little incidents ,
commented on and repeated , produce a bad
effect on Europe , because they show that the
character of the irascible young sovereign

BKUUN , May 0. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to TUB Bun. ] If you wait long
enough , news generally gifts through Ber
lin. Now that the ICeman visitors have re
turned , I have heard , the true story of the
miich-talked-about attentions paid by the
kaiser to Cardinal LcJochovnki. According
to authentic details given mo the cardinal
changed his attitude when Baron Schloser
ceased to bo ambassador to the
Vatican. Schloser , during the cultur-
kampf , In conjunction with his
master Bismarck , considered Ledochowskl
as his implacable enomy. Ho knew that
Ledochowskl , who then lived at the Vatican
under the rooms occupied by the pope , made
a point of being in the Vatican gardens
every morning in order to meet the pope
during his habitual walk. On those occa
sions ho used to show him letters received
from Poland , which painted events in the
darkest colors. Schloser finally managed to
obtain the displacement of this cardinal.
Leo , however , made him prefect of the
propoganda. Since then has dated the
rapprochement with the court at Berlin.
( Jotting ICven with Ilismurok.
Ledochowskl , seeing .Bismarck fallen , for
got everything , and placed himself at the dis
position of the same Prussia which fifteen
years previously had imprisoned , exiled and
pursued him llko a vulgar criminal. In sup
porting Caprivi and hip 'policy , ho gratified
tils intense hatred Against Bismarck , and
for the last two years the has been in con
fidential relations with -tho court at Berlin ,
where formerly hn had been s.i unpopular.
To have llvod thus lie was. able to propose
the choice of his do ( pled friend , Mgr.

port all the personal desires and
projects of the emperor und at
the palace there Is no' lack of gratitude.
Ills confidential sorvlccvwcnt further. He
used his Influence with the pope to prevent
him conceding to France the protectorate of
Catholics In China , which is hero looked
upon as a service of the flr t order. This
had the effect of forming the resolution at
the palace that Lodochowskl should bo offi
cially rehabilitated. Last March Baron von

New YOKK , May 0. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BUR. ] The first steps to test the con
stitutionality of the Geary Chinese exclusion
law were taUou today in this city. By
agreement three disconsolate Chinamen
walked Into United States Marshal Jacobus'
ofllco in the federal building early this morn
ing and were placed under arrest. They
were Wong Quan , who was dressed rather
nattily In English attire : Leo Joe , who wore
a full Chinese costume , and Fong Yuo Ting ,
attired In a cutaway coat and sailor's
trousers.
Guy Mcino , ono of tbo ofllcial Interpreters
of the Six Companies , arrived soon after
wards , accompanied by Yung Kulof the Chi
nese embassy at Washington and L. Wing ,
Chinese vlco consul at this port. The three
were dressed In rather dudlsh attire and
spoke fluent English.
The six Chinamen conversed together
while awaiting the arrival of Maxwell
Evarts and Joseph II. Choatc , who have
been retained by the Six Companies to prove
the Geary law unconstitutional. When Mr.
Evarts and Mr. Choato arrived there was a
whispered conference , and then the party ,
accompanied by Marshal Jacobus and two of
: iis deputies , went to the court room of Judge
\ddison Brown of the iJlilted States district
: ourt.
Ordered to lie Deported.
Wong Quan , who Is a laundry laborer , was
, he first man to oo arraigned. The proceed-
ngs were entirely formal. Mr. Evarts ox-
ilained to Judge Brown that Wong Quan
ivas the first Chinaman to bo arrested under
ho act , and that ho had no excuse to offer
'or not having registered as re-
luircd by law. His was a direct
violation of the law , Mr. Evarts said ,
nasmuch as ho did not apply for a cortili-
ato. United States District Attorney Ed-
, vard Mitchell , who appeared for the govern
ment , confirmed- this statement and asked
.hat Wong Quan bo deported ? rbm the
L-ountry. Judge Brown , after satisfy Ing him
self that W'onp Quan was a laborer , issued
an order directing the marshal to deport the
Chinaman.
Leo Joe was 'hen brought to the bar.
lo apparently did not understand the pro
ceedings. Ho extended his right hand

tellieiole words. Some slight change was
made In the complaint against Lee , and then
Judge Brownsigned an order for Leo's de
portation. Fong Yuo Ting was not brought
before Judge Brown.
Dismissed the Writs.
When Marshal Jacobus placed him under
arrest Mr. Evarts went before Judge Lacombe -
combo , sitting In the United States circuit
ourt , and swore out a writ of habeas corpus
In his case. When Judge Brown had fin
ished with the other Mongolians Mr. Evarts
took out writs in their cases. Then the three
Ihlnamen were taken before Judge Lacombe.
After examining Judge Brown's orders Judge
Lacombe dismissed the writs and ordered
Marshal Jacobus to take the three men in
custody again. This was done and Mr.
Evarts asked that the three Chinamen bo
admitted to ball pending an appeal in their
case. Judge Lacombe granted the applica
tion and fixed the bail of each at $ T > 00.
The party then went before Commissioner
Shields , who accepted ICiliacn Van Henssa-
lacr as their bondsman. Judge Lacombe
granted at once appeals from his order dis
missing the writs of habeas corpus , and su
prcme court citations returnable next
WeJncsday morning were iss jea. The cases
will come up before the supreme court a
Washington that day. Mr. Choato will argue
thcro in behalf of the Chinamen.

TACOMA , Wash. , May 0. Investigation by

exists to flood the country with Chinese ,
Every Canadian Paclflo steamer lo
months past has brought a hordi
of Chinese. It is found that tin
number publicly reported to bo on tiii
steamers was less than one-half , probably
not moro than one-third the number actually
on board. Tno Empress of Japan reported
100 , and when she arrived 1,002 were or
board , and 057 of thcso wore destined for the
United States , und twelve of them came
across from Victoria at night in a small
skiff , the skipper receiving $23 a head
for landing them. A dozen loft In a
yawl on the L'Oth to bo landed at
Port Townscnd. It Is reported they
pay 135 to bo landed In the United
States flW of which goes to somebody
who keeps their eyes shut when they are
coming in. Many small craft ply between
British Columbia and the United States ,
whoso business is supposed to bo- entirely
the handling of Chinese. Government olll-
cluls are said to receive a monthly salary ,
according to their station , for services , A
large number of ranchers in British Colum

employ Chinese wlillo they are preparing to

a two-ounce bottle of laudanum , saying ho
wanted It for a sk-k horse. Ho left
the store , but came back In n few minutes
and inquired what quantity was a dose for a

Sioux FAI.I.S , S. D. , May 0. [ Special to
THE Br.is. ] A case of the greatest interest to
the people of the northwest , and particularly
to the cities of Sioux Falls and Sioux City ,
will Do heard before the Intcrstato Com
merce commission hero next week. A dis
patch from Washington states that tno coin-
mission will arrive on Motrlay and will at
once tnko up the case of E. J. Daniels of
this city against the Great Northern and
Sioux City & ; Northern railroads , and the
same plaintiff against the Burlington , Cedar
Kaplds & Northern , the Hock Island and the
Sioux City & Northern for discrlmlna
tlon In favor of Sioux City and against
Sioux Falls. In the first case it is claimed
that Sioux Falls is seventy-two miles nearer
Duluth than is Sioux City , and in the second
sixty miles nearer Chicago , and yet in botl
cases the frchiht charges are 8 per cent
higher to tills city than to the other. Thr
complaint states that this di-scrimimitioii
is unjust in that the service is similar am
that It works great hardship to the Sioux
Falls merchants. The Milwaukee road wll
also bo a party to the suits hoing nrralgnec
for charging u higher rate from Omaha to
St. Paul than from Omaha to Sioux Falls
The former case arises out of the cotnblna
tlon of the Burlington and the Sioux City il

an entrance Into Sioux City , if the decislor
of the commission Is In favor of this city
Sioux Falls will bo given Missouri river

LINCOLN , Nob. , May 0. [ Special to Tun
Bin. : | The principal question that Ins been
under discussion today , upon the street cor
ners , around the hotel corridors and In the
publicofllceu lias been : "What course will
the managers of the Impeachment pursua
when the supreme court reconvenes uext
Monday 1"
While there are but few persons who will
venture an opinion , there Is a strong under
current leading to the belief that several
surprises uro in store for thu accused ofllclals
and the attorneys by whom they are repre
sented. This feeling extends throughout
the entire city , and even the most Intl-
inato friends of the men on trial admit
that'thlngs do not look as hopeful as they
did before the introduction of Saturday's
damaging testimony , which throw a cloud of
sjspicion around the cell-houso construction
and the insane asylum hospital coal deal.
The tcstlmonj that the state has adduced
has opened the eyes of Ilio people , and many
persons who ono week ago were were declar
ing that the men were abavo reproach ana
that they were bring persecuted , now express -
press themselves In a different manner , ad
mitting an Indication that Chore Is something
crooked. Still the cry of persecuMon is kept
up , but it comes principally from the officials
themselves and their hired strikers , and Is
regarded as the last effort to divert public
attention from the ro.U Issue and work up
svmpathy.
The accused ofll ilals have opened head
quarters in the Lincoln hotel , whcro they
have rented n suite of roams just oft the
court and located on the second floor. Thcro
they remain during the whole of the day and
greater portion of the night , advising with
their legal representatives. All ot the hired
workers are on the outsldohunting witnesses
who may be approached and trying to stem
the tide that is rapidly setting In ugalnst their
principals , the respondents , though in. this
latter enterprise thovaro not , mooting with
any marked degree of success.
How Thiilr Work Wt : Done.
Ono of the great cries now bolnx raised is
that If thcro have been any irregularities
they have been duo to the fact that the
members of the Board of Publio Lands and
Buildings have been over worked In devot
ing their time.nl ; attention to lookIng -
Ing nfter the welfare of the pub
lic Institutions of the state and
that they have given these institutions
such close attention and inspection that the
ofllco work has been neglected.
Regarding this question , Information
comes from the most reliable authority tnat
the Board of Public I/inds and Buildings
did not visit the Institute for the Deaf dur-
ng the years 1891 and 1832 , though J. E. Hill
visited the school once last summer and re
mained for a short time. Whenever Super
intendent Gillesplo has had anything that
lecdcd the attention of the board ho has
been compelled to go to Lincoln , got the
itcmbcrs together and lay the matter before
them.
During the year 1801 reliable information
reveals the fact tnat once the members of
the board , or at least Messrs. Hastings ,
Humphrey and Allen visited the Hospital
'or the Insane , located at Norfolk , but dur-
.ng the year 1802 none of them over showed
heir faces upon the grounds. The 1801
visit was at the request of the superin
tendent in charge , ho stating that Supervisor
Leo , who was afterwards discharged , was
creating dissatisfaction among the employes
of the institution.
At the Beatrice Instl.uto for the Feeble
Minded , Mr. Hill , who lives in that town
was at the Institution three times alone and
once with A. H. Humphrey and J. C. Allen.
During the year 16U2 the board never visited
the institution , though Hill was there twice
and Humphrey once ,
Moro attention was given to the Hospital
for the Inctir.iblo Insane , located at Has
tings , as the record shows that Hastings
and Allen were them four times each and
Humphrey throe times. They are said to
have visited the asvltiin during 1SU1 , but the
record falls to disclose the fact.
Out at the Industrial School for Girls , lo
cated at Geneva , it Is evident that the board
had but little interest , us during the year
IS'.Kl Humphrey visited thu pluco twice and
ttio other members once , each remaining n
half day at c.ich visit. If visits were paid
to the other state institutions no record has
over been kept to show why , when or how
often they were mado.
I'uoln Ar AgitliiHt Them ,
The fact Is that instead of the oflicials
having been overworked in looking after the
interests of the state , they have paid but
little attention to any of the Institutions and
have neglected some altogether.
That the need of sympathy Is the stock In
trade of the respondents Is made apparent
by the fact that during the past twonty-four
hours they have bomi claiming that the
work of the legislative committee was done
behind locked doors and that the entire in-
vesilgation , which resulted In the bringing
of Impeachment charges , was a star chamber
affair , nt which they were not allowed to
vindicate themselves. They are loud In de
nouncing the action of the comtnlttoo In re
porting the charges und the action of a ma
jority In adopting that report , urging that if
they had been given an opportunity of ex
plaining , the supreme court of the state would
not now bo Bitting as a court of impeach *
mcut. Going farther into the matter , they
claim that if they had boon given n hourl ng
instead of having their characters black- '
cned fflr all tlino to come , they could have
proven themselves as Innocent as now-born
bii bos.
Thl wall Is ucccptod for the truth by a
few , but a majority of the people right her
in Lincoln , where the respondents and tholf
hired men are devoting the most of their
tlino to making capital , refuse to swallov
